Analog Design Engineer

About the role

Cirrus Logic is seeking a highly motivated Analog Design Engineer to join a collaborative hardware design team developing high performance analog and mixed signal integrated circuits for advanced consumer and embedded applications.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop analog and mixed-signal IC blocks from concept through production, including data converters, power management, amplifiers, and supporting circuitry in advanced CMOS processes.
• Define architectures, perform transistor-level design, and create behavioral and system models using tools such as Matlab, Verilog-A, SystemVerilog, and Simulink.
• Simulate and verify circuit and chip-level performance using Spectre and mixed-signal methodologies (analog-on-top, digital-on-top).
• Lead or support layout implementation, post-layout simulation, and performance optimization, ensuring DRC/LVS closure.
• Perform silicon bring-up, lab validation, debug, and post-silicon characterization using standard lab instrumentation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including digital, layout, test, and systems engineering to ensure robust, manufacturable designs.
• Support product validation, characterization, and production test development through debug, analysis, and silicon learning.
• Contribute to design reviews, technical documentation, and reusable analog infrastructure or platforms.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 2+ years of relevant IC design experience. Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 0+ years of relevant IC design experience.
• Experience: Strong foundation in CMOS analog and mixed-signal IC design. Deep understanding of the analog design flow: architecture, design, integration, verification, and silicon validation. Proficiency with analog modeling and simulation tools (e.g., Matlab, Spectre, Verilog-A, SystemVerilog). Solid understanding of device physics, noise analysis, stability, and control theory. Hands-on lab experience with silicon debug and validation. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. Organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Preferred

• Experience: Experience with power conversion architectures (inductive and/or capacitive), Delta-sigma ADCs/DACs and discrete-time or continuous-time signal processing, Switched-capacitor circuits, PLLs, LNAs, and audio-oriented analog blocks, System and behavioral modeling, Familiarity with reliability topics (ESD, latch-up, long-term device stress). Experience across multiple CMOS process nodes and geometry scales. Ability to plan, lead, and review analog subsystem designs.
